Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 

Assertion (A): Action potential propagation in unmyelinated neurons is faster than in myelinated neurons.
Reason (R): Myelin is a complex polysaccharide and it slows the conduction of the impulse along the axonal membrane.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
